Best Breakfast Sandwiches

Eggs On The Go!

Stay healthy in a hurry

In the past few years, fast-food purveyors from Burger King to Chick-fil-A have updated their breakfast menus with new sandwiches. That's great. But what's not great is that those sandwiches often contain refined grains and little fiber, and taste like the paper bags they're packed in. Resist the urge to slap the snooze button, and whip up these healthier versions at home instead. (For more a.m. options, check out the Best Breakfast Foods for Men.)

How to make it:Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the vegetables and sausage; cook, breaking up the meat, until the potato is done, about 10 minutes. Scramble in the eggs, add cheese, and wrap it all in the tortillas. Makes 2 servings

How to make it:Mix a pinch of cayenne pepper into 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise. Split and toast a whole-wheat English muffin, and then spread each piece with the spicy mayo. Fry an egg until the yolk is still a little bit runny and place it on a muffin half. Top with a few slices of avocado and close the sandwich. Makes 1 serving
